Created during a workshop curated by Gijs de Boer.
“Ego Design
A positioning workshop for critical design students through self-portraiture.
One thing that a graduation project cannot avoid is to reflect its maker. Rather than correct such a bias in pursuit of objectivity, can it be a resource? From trying to recognise yourself in the thing you critique, students were asked to make a self- portrait and display it above their shoes. In a collective crit we tried to read the new gestures in the image.”
